Alice or Felicity?

[LilyRose89]

Just that really :)

With our baby girl due in a few weeks, we finally narrowed it down to these two names.

Love them both, they both go with our one syllable surname.

What’s your favourite? Can’t decide AT ALL!

Alice is so much nicer.
Felicity is an awful name. It sounds ugly and frumpy

Both lovely names.

@LilyRose89 my Felicity generally gets called by the full name at the moment but my nn for her is Flossie. My Dad used to call me Flossie so it sort of feels right.

Both lovely names! Sorry not helpful!

Felicity.

Love Alice but the camel puts me off.

Felicity works better with Ross and Lissy is a gorgeous name. Congratulations on your wee one coming.

My 17 year old DD is called Felicity. She LOVES her name. She's never been called Flick. Her nickname is Floss/Flossy which she loves. I adore the name. xx

Felicity

@Indiethecat that’s a nice comment after all the comments from mums about their daughters called Felicity 🙄🤣

Oh god the camel comment made me think of ....

Alice?
Alice?
Who the fuck is Alice?

Both are nice names, but I think Felicity works best with your surname, as well as being less popular (although Alice isn't bad). However as pp mentioned I wouldn't use Felicity unless you like the nicknames because four syllable names are often shortened (Alice is slightly less likely to be).

Felicity is my favourite girls name. So naturally I prefer it to Alice.

Love both your names. Only ever known one Felicity and one Alice and they are both super

I absolutely love Alice but agree that Felicity works much better with your surname.

I'm an Alice, have been for several decades .
I have never been called Ali. Al, but not Ali.
I am rather delighted that Alice is now popular enough that you can mugs/pens etc with it on!

Although I should be biased towards Alice, I think Felicity goes better with Ross.

Felicity

I like Alice.

Those are my top two favourite names. Felicity works well with your surname though. Is she having a middle name?

@torthecatlady I was thinking, depending on the first name I choose:
Felicity Alice
Alice Felicity
Or Alice Esme
:)

@IamnotwhouthinkIam that’s exactly it; I think Felicity works better with our surname and love the name itself but I wouldn’t be happy if she was called something else than Felicity all her life. Basically if my Felicity became a Flick all her life it would maybe make me regret the name a bit (like the full version, not a fan of nicknames).

My DSis is called Felicity and she goes by Listy to me and my other sibling, Flick to most friends and Fliss to others.

So my vote is Felicity Alice although her initials would spell FAR.

@moonlight1705 that’s a really good point! 😅

I dislike Alice, it just doesn't sound very nice to me.

However, don't give a child a long name if you can't bear the nicknames associated with it, madness lies that way.

So I think ,seeing as you like it you will be happier with Alice overall, despite Felicity being the far nicer name.

Please don't name her Felicity, that's my dd name and I'm a bit sad it's gotten so popular.

OBVIOUSLY IM NOT THAT PRECIOUS ABOUT IT lol. But it's a lovely, classic timeless name we've only had positive feedback on (but who would say oh that's awful to a new mum lol). She's Fliss to us!

@Ginfilledcats I like Fliss as a nickname!
And congrats, beautiful name :)
